Harvest Monday

By Mwillis
Although we are more than half way through October now, there are still plenty of harvests coming in.
I pulled up another big batch of lovely Carrots. These ones are all "Kelly", an experimental variety, with which I have been very impressed. If it is available for next year, I shall certainly buy some more seeds.

I have harvested loads of carrots from this bed, but there never seem to be any less! As fast as I pick them the Carrot Fairy puts more in their place!

This was definitely the very last batch of Runner Beans because the plants have now been taken down.

It's not a huge number of beans, and some of them are rather poor specimens compared with some of the earlier ones, but they are still OK and certainly enough for a 2-person serving. It has been a good year for Runner Beans. I think I may well grow "Enorma" again.
Quite a lot of chillis have ripened, and I have stripped the fruit off several of the plants prior to disposing of them. Having made that big batch of Harissa the other day, I have put most of the recently-picked chillis into the freezer to use on a later occasion. As you can see, some of them are not ripe, but they will get there.

I'm still continuing to harvest Lettuce as and when required, even though I lost four of them this week as a result of the nocturnal badger / fox diggings. This one is a "Devin".

There have been a couple more little pickings of Raspberries. I am getting this amount every 3 or 4 days:
